Alte Donau
On the Alte Donau in Vienna, a stagnant body of water to the left of the main river, an apartment is being transformed into a place of homecoming, with notions of riverbanks and horizons, harbours and beaches serving as points of reference. The living room and kitchen face south, thus offering a wide panoramic view of the water and the sky, while the bedroom and guestroom/library face north. A centrally located functional strip – equipped with a new terrazzo floor – comprises the bathroom facilities, kitchen and wardrobe.
Furniture
units along the walls connect the different functional areas and
elucidate the geometry of the rooms. These fixtures combine light
steel sheet elements with textured wood, natural stone and curtain
fabric. The colourfulness of the different elements takes on the
appearance of riverbank gravel and sets delicate pink next to pearl
grey and anthracite. In the evening, structural glass bodies turn
into lanterns thanks to integrated lighting.
